Upminster Junior School had a Six Nations rugby competiton. We played as England. Our first match was against Oakfields - it was six to them and six to us. Then we played three other schools and won them all.

County athletics

On Saturday 30th January 2016, Chloe Brand, Callum Basinger and I took part in the East Region Sportshall Athletics competition.


There were five teams, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire & Hertfordshire. In itself, it was an honour to be there. To qualify for the Essex team we had to go to three trials. There were many people at the competition and our opponents were very fierce, however, our team were determined to persevere and with our efforts we came in third place. We were supported by family and Mrs Day, the athletics coach.

There was a wide variety of events which included javelin, standing long jump, speed bounce, obstacle relay, hurdles relay and a two lap race. I tool part in the 4x1 relay, hurdles relay and standing long jump. It was a great opportunity to represent our county by competing as part of the Essex team and I enjoyed every passing minute.
